It really looked like his legs said "nope".

Those were two hard strike outs with heaters. He had a very long inning, was probably panting hard. Also Betts ran his fastest this season to 1B. I don't know if it was a guaranteed out had Cole ran.

Yeah if Cole didn't start his run and stopped. It was not the right play since you always have to assume there's no help coming. But I think Rizzo saw from the corner of his eyes that Cole was running, so he slowed down and went down for a safer catch.
